Hey folks! In spite of recent events, there are a few issues I'd like to address. I was hoping to refrain from being a boring, stickler mod, but my figurative buttons have been pressed - and not in the right way.

1) The most recent even most of you will be aware of - Re-introductions are not to be made, especially if you've only been away for a month. People still know you! It's okay, don't freak out!

There are special cases where a member who may have joined a year ago hasn't made a thread, or any of the staff, in such case, Jade Mage and myself, have made topics to inform you all as to who we are due to our promotions, all of which bypass this rule.

Simply, have you been inactive for over a year, haven't made an introduction post yet, or have had a promotion (to staff member)? If not - don't post!

2) Most of you seem to abuse certain site rules in this forum. Go ahead, call it useless, and call me a useless mod just as much; but you all use this section, and it doesn't make it any different from any other. This means:

Do not harass other users. If you can't help yourself, come back once you finish middle school.

Think before you post. Try to contribute to the discussion. Use common sense.

No advertising. This is not the place to coordinate Minecraft griefing attacks. Do not post IP addresses or griefing team ads.

And most annoyingly:

If somebody breaks the rules, just report it. Don't clutter the thread with posts about how somebody broke the rules.

In relation with the top 2 site and forum rules, if someone makes a thread that advertises griefing teams, youtube channels, talks about griefing - calm your knickers!! Report it to a mod and leave it. This leads on to my next point...

3) Think before you post. This also covers post whoring. Again, this is not the place to do it, nor is anywhere the place to do it. Post whoring, for those that don't know, is posting useless crap to get your post count up.

I'm not going to make an example of anyone, but simply posting "Hi, remember this is a gaming forum. Enjoy" is useless, and not worth anyone's time reading!

See:

It's extremely button pressing to see user not actually care about a user, and want to abuse this section for their own gain. Like your parents (hopefully!) taught you, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it! This applies to posting here, if you don't have anything worth while to add to the conversation - just don't post it, eh?
